The country consists of flat coastal plain that contains creeks, mangrove swamps, and lagoons. Forested hills, between 180 to 370 m (600 to 1,200 ft) high cover the rest of the country. North east of Sanniquellie town are some mountains in the northern highlands. The maximum peak in the Nimba Mountains is 1,383 m (4,540 ft). Mount Wuteve's summit is the highest point in Liberia, the mountain is located in the north western part of the country.

Six principal rivers flow to the Atlantic Ocean. Vegetation is predominantly forest, and the tropical, humid climate sees rainfall averages of 465 cm (183 in) on the coast and 224 cm (88 in) in the southeast.
